Tuesday Rambling 4.7.15 – Things I Pray for Repeatedly

Certainly, we all have pointed prayers based on specific, temporary needs.

Then, some prayers happen over and over again. Repeatedly, I pray for:

Spiritual awakening.

Salvation for the lost.

Children and teens who need Jesus.

Those suffering. Hurt is real, all the time. I pray for those suffering grief, loss, past trauma, etc.

The persecuted church. Believers all over the world face very real threats to freedom and personal safety simply because they proclaim Jesus as Lord.

The end of Summit County’s heroin/drug epidemic. My heart aches for people who have suffered loss due to drug use.

Our church’s shut-ins and elderly. It’s one thing to speak of “elderly” as a category. It’s another thing to know real faces and names, seeking understanding for this difficult and unique phase of life.

The Church’s unity and strengthening.

Encouragement to come for believers struggling in ministry and calling.

The strengthening of the family.

Just because it’s not on here doesn’t mean I don’t pray for it or I don’t care. I put this down simply to post some things that repeatedly burden my heart. What makes your list?
